It’s Sew Emma Log Cabin Foundation Paper
After prepping my honey bun over the weekend, I was all set to try out my new It's Sew Emma Log Cabin Foundation Paper. I used the 6-inch size with my honey bun of Squirrelly Girl. The papers were straight forward enough, and I got up to speed by watching a YouTube video first. Here…

Cupcake Mix Papers
Hello friends. I hope you all are having a good week. I've been busy with homeschooling, so not much sewing action is going on. I did get into the sewing room for a couple of hours, though. Pre-cuts have been on my mind from our discussion earlier this week. I am itching to get into…

American Pie in Progress
On Sunday, I put together nine or so of the American Pie blocks I've been working on hit or miss this summer. I found myself vaguely dissatisfied with them and can't put my finger on why. Do you think I should add another color or two into the mix? I've got red, rust, green, brown,…

Quickie
This post is a quickie, not the block. This block is Moda BlockHeads 3 block #33. And it was a doozy for sure. I am not afraid of curved piecing, and in fact, rather enjoy it. This block, however, was a challenge. It was designed by Brigitte Heitland of Zen Chic and is called Walking…

Maple Leaves Runner and Our State is Burning Up
I put in a few hours of sewing over the weekend, and the Maple Leaves blocks are finished and being sewn together. The batik fabrics are so pretty. It is like I am working with little jewels. What I am really enjoying is the lighter background. Many of my fall table toppers and runners are…

BlockHeads 3 Catch Up
Eva and I had a busy day with homeschool Monday. She is doing assessment tests in reading and math, which are super hard and take a very long time. She's been a trooper though and we got through about half of the reading test. We will finish up on Tuesday then go on to math.…

American Pie Block Units Done
Remember this project? It is a one-block quilt called American Pie, an older pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company that lends itself beautifully to scrap busting. I picked it up at the beginning of the pandemic, thinking it would be a fun project to occupy me for a few weeks while we sheltered in place. …

Square in a Square Block
What is your name for this quilt block? I call it "Square in a Square", but many quilters refer to it as "Economy Block". Whatever you call it, it can be a tricky one. You start with a center square and surround it with two rounds of corner triangles. The edges of the corner triangles…

One More ModaBlockheads- Block 28
I made up one more Moda BlockHeads block yesterday. It is called Broken Dishes, submitted by Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree Quilts. It is the 28th block in the year-long sew-along. Joanna used all reds in her sample block, so I followed suit. I chose the 12" size because I have been making a lot…

Back To Moda Blockheads 3
I think it is time for me to get back to Moda BlockHeads 3, which has been neglected in the past weeks. I slept all day Tuesday after my medical procedure. The anesthesia really knocked me out, but I am back to normal now. I took a very short walk with my friend (proper social…
